15 Increasing Use of Coal

16 Drivers for Sustainable Development Economics Indoor Environmental Quality Depletion of Non-Renewables Effect of Pollution Environmental Stewardship

17 Resources

18 Energy Management Everyone has a role Highest Utility Cost Optimization – Focus is on Reducing Waste Impact on Environment Impact on Indoor Environmental Quality

19 Challenges Limited Information No Visibility or Accountability for Energy Use Not Understanding the Urgency Perceived Insignificance of the Individual Conservation Myths Stereotypes Abstract Concept

20 What Can Be Done? Building & Land Development Transportation Water Use Energy Use Environmental Protection & Restoration Facility Operations Waste Management Indoor Environmental Quality Measuring & Monitoring

21 CORE model has 4 interdependent functions. Campus Sustainability Operations Research Community Education Core Model of Campus Sustainability

22 Sustainable Campus Today Energy Management Systems Retrofit Projects Planning & Design Education & Training Sustainable Campus Committee Service-Learning Program Curriculum University Research Student Government ESP Web Info Center

23 What Can You Do? Energy –Electrical Equipment –Lighting –Air-conditioning & Heating Water Recycling

24 Benefits – Electrical Energy Efficiency Reduces energy use and cost Improves quality and comfort of working environment Less maintenance required on electrical equipment Extended equipment life Less waste heat Positive impact on climate change issues & non- renewable energy sources

25 Electrical Equipment Energy Computers –Switching Off –Screen Savers –Waste Heat Printers Copiers Vending Machines Water Fountains Water Heaters

26 Electrical Equipment Energy Computers –Switching Off –Screen Savers –Waste Heat Printers Copiers Vending Machines Water Fountains Water Heaters

27 Cost and energy use vs. computer hours 100 watts at 6 cents/kWh

28 Electrical Equipment Energy Computers –Switching Off –Screen Savers –Waste Heat Printers Copiers Vending Machines Water Fountains Water Heaters Life Affected?

29 Electrical Equipment Energy Computers –Switching Off –Screen Savers –Waste Heat Printers Copiers Vending Machines Water Fountains Water Heaters Save only 10% at best Can actually use 30 watts more! Use Energy Star settings

30 Electrical Equipment Energy Computers –Switching Off –Screen Savers –Waste Heat Printers Copiers Vending Machines Water Fountains Water Heaters Monitors measured at 105 to 115 degrees F

31 Electrical Equipment Energy Computers –Switching Off –Screen Savers –Waste Heat Printers Copiers Vending Machines Water Fountains Water Heaters Can use 10 – 20 watts just sitting there!

32 Electrical Equipment Energy Computers –Switching Off –Screen Savers –Waste Heat Printers Copiers Vending Machines Water Fountains Water Heaters Who’s in charge of the copier?

33 Electrical Equipment Energy Computers –Switching Off –Screen Savers –Waste Heat Printers Copiers Vending Machines Water Fountains Water Heaters Each one can use $10 - $18 per month!

34 Electrical Equipment Energy Computers –Switching Off –Screen Savers –Waste Heat Printers Copiers Vending Machines Water Fountains Water Heaters Each one can use $20 - $50 per year!

35 Electrical Equipment Energy Computers –Switching Off –Screen Savers –Waste Heat Printers Copiers Vending Machines Water Fountains Water Heaters Each one can use $50 - $150 per year!

36 Benefits – Efficient Lighting Reduces energy use and cost Improved quality Less maintenance required Fewer waste materials Positive impact on climate change issues

37 Efficient Lighting T-8 Fluorescent/ electronic Compact fluorescent bulbs Lighting Mythology! Day-lighting

38 Efficient Lighting T-8 Fluorescent/ electronic Compact fluorescent bulbs Lighting Mythology! Day-lighting 20-30% more efficient

39 Efficient Lighting T-8 Fluorescent/ electronic Compact fluorescent bulbs Lighting Mythology! Day-lighting

40 Material Cost Life (hrs) Power (w) Cost Savings CFL 12,000 15 $3.22 Incand 1,000 60 $0.24 $0.34 How much is saved? In 12,000 hours of use Energy Cost Life (hrs) Power (w) Cost Savings CFL 12,000 15 x $0.06/kWh $10.80 $32.40 Incand 12,000 60 x $0.06/kWh $43.20

41 Efficient Lighting T-8 Fluorescent/ electronic Compact fluorescent bulbs Lighting Mythology! Day-lighting

42 The myth of start-up energy is busted! Time Current 1/120 second

43 Efficient Lighting T-8 Fluorescent/ electronic Compact fluorescent bulbs Lighting Mythology! Day-lighting

44 Benefits – HVAC Efficiency Reduces energy use and cost Improved quality and comfort Less maintenance required Longer equipment life Scheduling and complex control strategies easily programmed Positive impact on climate & resource issues

45 Efficient HVAC Comfort Thermostats Indoor Air Quality

46 Efficient HVAC Comfort Thermostats Indoor Air Quality Combination of: Temperature Humidity Radiation Air movement Metabolism Clothing

47 Efficient HVAC Comfort Thermostats Indoor Air Quality Controls: Compressors Pumps Fan motors Dampers Heating Elements Valves

48 Efficient HVAC Comfort Thermostats Indoor Air Quality Issues: Outside ventilation CO2 buildup VOC’s Humidity/moisture Microbial growth

49 Benefits – Water Efficiency Reduced water and energy use Less maintenance Extended equipment life Utility rate increases avoided Positive impact on aquifer

50 Water Efficiency Efficient fixtures Water leaks Irrigation Landscaping Water Reuse

51 Water Efficiency Efficient fixtures Water leaks Irrigation Landscaping Water Reuse
